Overview of the Conveying Equipment Market

The utilization of advanced techniques of production as well as automated equipment has become a vital need in order to achieve timely manufacture of quality goods. This has facilitated the utilization of mechanical handling equipment, also known as conveying equipment or conveyor systems, which are majorly used for shipment, transportation, and various related manufacturing activities.

Based on product segmentation analysis, the global conveying equipment market is segmented into unit handling, parts and attachments, and bulk handling. The demand for bulk handling equipment deviates from one industry to other. Nonetheless, owing to its limited application, the global market for bulk handling is predicted to expand at a 1.8% CAGR between 2012 and 2018.

Major uses of unit handling equipment include the controlling of small batches that are most broadly applicable in industries such as shipments, food and beverage processing, and other industries for durable goods. The market for bulk handling equipment is expected to expand at a 1.9% CAGR between 2012 and 2018.

To facilitate analysis, the global conveying equipment market has been segmented in terms of geography into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). In 2011, Europe led the market for conveyor equipment, with a 35.5% share in the global market. Owing to the developing economies of India and China, Asia Pacific is predicted to attain a market share of about 32% by 2018. The U.S. is the nucleus for numerous manufacturing activities, resulting in increased demand for conveying equipment. The U.S. market for unit handling conveying equipment was estimated at about US$3,102 million in 2011. This market is likely to reach US$7,498 million by 2018. The demand for conveyor equipment from North America is expected to rise due to the presence of prominent automobile manufacturers.
